While driving across Kansas, the thought crossed my mind that a stuffed road kill doll would be a popular backseat kid-cuddly or a nice on-the-street-in-front-of-the-house décor detail. Though soft and furry, the animal doll would be realistically flat and include shattered bones and dried blood.

Besides
the usual raccoon, skunk, opossum and cat models, exotic elephant and flounder road kill would also be available. Small pockets could be stuffed with beef jerky when displaying in the street to attract crows.

This reminds me of Not The Nine O'clock News, where at the beginning of one, there was the hedgehog apology, where they had to apologise for running over a stuffed hedgehog, but it wasn't so cruel as, per se, the people who actually stuff hedgehogs... I've got it all on DVD, I wish I'd lived in the 80s...

//Pah, glad I'm not a Brit// [froglet] It wasn't just us Brits who didn't have DVDs in the 80's - no-one had them. Don't hate us for something that hadn't been invented. PS, Tell us how the exchange goes, I have a fifteen year-old daughter I'd quite like to swap. Oh...the idea...yeah. Hmmm, sick, depraved, twisted, extreme bad taste. Obligatory bun.
